You Are a Badass at Making Money

other broke people, and we do broke things together. We believe we are X
(noble, stuck, safe, screwed, etc.). We love our broke tribe and do not ever want
to break it up. Instead of focusing on what you risk losing when you grow, faith
helps you focus on, and believe in, all you have to gain.
Faith strengthens your relationship with Universal Intelligence. When you have
faith enough to say, “I may not know exactly how I’m going to double my income,
I just know that I am,” you are trusting that the path to riches will be shown to
you. Instead of expecting yourself to have all the answers, you’re leaping into
the unknown fully trusting that Universal Intelligence has your back: Here I
comes U Dawg, I know you’re gonna catch me! Your past and present
knowledge of reality is being tossed aside for something that doesn’t “exist” yet.
If you didn’t have faith that the Universe had something awesome in store for
you, was there for you, and was, you know, smarter than you, you wouldn’t let
go of your present truth.
Faith strengthens your self-confidence. If you’re badass enough to leap off the
edge of your present reality into the void, is there anything you can’t do? The
answer: No. Nothing.

Faith strengthens your abundance mindset. Faith in the unknown and the
miraculous removes your focus from what you lack, and homes in on infinite
possibility. What you focus on you create more of. Hence, faith = abundance
mindset = you’re gonna need some bigger pockets.
Let’s put faith into the context of stand-up comedy because it’s a great
metaphor for the sort of grit it takes to put yourself all the way out on the
edge. If you lob a joke out into the audience and all you hear is crickets, it’s
just you up there with nowhere to turn, sucking on stage for all to see. You
might as well just go ahead and do it naked to complete the nightmare. But
when you nail a joke, all eyes are on you, all the laughter and glory is yours.
It’s thrilling, it’s terrifying, it’s all or nothing, and it’s all you.
When you go big and take the scary leaps you need to take to change
your financial sitch—hire an expensive stylist, enroll in beauty school,
write your book, buy a castle and turn it into a disco—you’re up there on
stage with no idea what’s on the other side of those blinding lights, free-
falling through space. But here’s the great news: If you nail it, party time! If
you bomb, you now know what didn’t work, so when you go out there and
give it another shot, you get to do so with more info. Taking a leap of faith
is a win/win. Treading water in your comfort zone for the rest of your life is
a snore/yawn.
Faith, like all other facets of our mindset, is a muscle. The more you use
it, the stronger it gets. The bigger the leap, the stronger your faith muscle
needs to be. Staying steady, focused, and fixated on your faith when the
poop really hits the fan marks the difference between those who are
successful and those who fail. It’s usually right after we think we literally
cannot take one moment more of the uncertainty or the waiting or the
pressure or the disappointments—Holy hellballs, are you trying to kill me
over here?—that the big investor comes through, or the counteroffer is
accepted, or the soul mate walks through the door.
A test of faith is like playing chicken with the Universe.
The Universe wants you to grow and bloom into the most glorious
version of yourself. Growth happens through friction and challenge, and the
